Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has a 3.2-inch display with a resolution of 640x360 pixels, and has many features standard to the Nokia Nseries, such as GPS, HSDPA and Wi-Fi support.[9] It was a highly anticipated device in 2008[10][11] and went on to become a commercial success with 8 million units sold a year after release.[12] It was praised for its supplied stylus and low price, but was viewed negative by critics for its camera and software issues.
In early February 2009 the website Mobile-Review.com, which was initially very enthusiastic about the handset, published its research and concluded that the Nokia 5800 had a design flaw. Specifically, when phones were used on a daily basis, their earpieces, produced for Nokia under contract by a third party, would cease to function in a very short time. Repairs performed under warranty would only temporarily fix the problem. The defect was found to be in the earpiece design. Nokia's public relations department had admitted that the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic contained this design defect. According to Nokia, they switched to another earpiece manufacturer, so all 5800's produced during February 2009 or later should be free from defect, with previously produced earpieces eligible for free warranty repair. New earpiece parts have also been supplied to Nokia service centres and future phone repairs should permanently fix the defect.[18]

On 21 August 2009, Nokia announced a new variant named Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition. In addition to the normal Nokia 5800, it has the latest version of Nokia Maps pre-installed. It also comes with a car charger and car kit inside the box because the GPS decreases the battery life. Both the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and the 5800 Navigation Edition, however, have free lifetime navigation, due to the new version of Ovi Maps.[19]The service was available at nokia.com.[20]
Firmware 51.2.007 was also released for North American Nokia 5800 RM-428 in August 2010 with the following changes:This software release comes with an improved browser, improved video calls, and a new version of Mail for Exchange. There are also general performance improvements.[31]
Apple may be looking down with amused detachment at yet another iPhone-killer wannabe. We guess Nokia 5800 XpressMusic doesn't want that label but it won't escape it. We are talking the market leader against the touch interface pacesetter. Maybe not this time, but this one is worth keeping an eye on in the long run. At this point though, for the price of an unlocked contract-free iPhone 3G you can easily obtain two Nokia 5800 XpressMusic handsets - sounds a bargain, doesn't it?
Nokia 5800 has news features is screen snap, has patterns like Microsoft Windows. Nokia 5800 has reached in screen snap taken for a photo during Gallery. In Menu screen has reach from mobile games in Applications, Menu screen has news games for Download app and Gallery app and Note app.
The second one on the list is PicsArt. This app is the highest grossing photography apps on the play store. Nonetheless, it has a plethora of options to try out for free. You can literally find almost every possible option required for editing including collage maker, clipart library and millions of user-created stickers. You can even upload your pictures to the global PicsArt community and take part in several creative contests through the app.
The Video centre application provides a way to download video on the phone (via RSS feeds), but there is a limited selection of generic content available. You can also copy video directly from your PC (side loading), but there's a good chance it will need re-encoding to achieve optimum playback. Video centre does make it easy to access videos stored on the phone, but the overall experience is much less slick than that for music; side loading content is less straight forward, nor is there a video store for commercial or premium content. These limitations are likely to be partly offset by regional variants being pre-loaded with local content feeds and applications (e.g. the BBC iPlayer widget which provides a way for British users to view BBC content in a hassle free way). As Steve recently found out, with the UK variant of the N96, this can be very effective and the media-centric Nokia 5800 is an obvious candidate for this kind of local customisation.
The 5800 has an integrated GPS with assisted positioning support. GPS is slowly becoming standard, but it is still relatively unusual to see them in devices in the 5800's price bracket. Along with GPS comes Nokia Maps. As usual, mapping and location is free of charge, but you'll have to pay an extra fee for turn by turn car or pedestrian navigation. The Maps application works well with touch: you can drag the maps around the screen and there's an on screen slider for zooming in and out. Unsurprisingly, it is one of the applications that benefits most from the higher resolution screen.
The 5800's browsing experience fails to match Safari on the iPhone; it's mostly down to performance, but there's also an ease of use element too. Despite this, it is still impressive and, thanks principally to the higher resolution screen, is a large step forward compared to most earlier S60 devices. Plus in some areas, such as handling RSS feeds and bookmark handling, it does a better job than the iPhone. You might forgive the difference in the browsing experience for the 5800 (since it's half the price of the iPhone), but this version of Web will be used across all of Nokia's touch devices so saying that is a bit of a cop out. Moreover, both browsers are built on WebKit so it is not unreasonable to expect a similar level of performance. On the other hand, if you compare the 5800 with anything other than the iPhone then it is going to come out in a much better light. It should also be noted that there may be improvements in the retail release software version, so again, we'll revisit this area in a future review.
In part 3 of my hands-on Nokia 5800 XpressMusic preview, I'm going to be looking at the rest of the S60 software bundle and application compatibility before drawing some final conclusions. Part 3 will be available later this week. 2ff7e9595c
